The Soldiers' Home Directors.

The managers of the Soldiers Home ar
rived in this city on the delayed overland
train at $50 o'clock last evening. They
were met at Roseville by committee con-
sisting of Mayor Gregory Joseph Steffens,
Frank Miller, A. Abbott, G. w. Cheslev,
CONGRESSMAN w. w. Morrow and Captain
William Blanding-the resident manager
OF the Association. The contemplated ar
engagements for reception of the distin-
guished guests were unavoidably postponed
on account of illness Of one of the ladies of
the party. This fact coupled with the late
hour of arrival, rendered it necessary for
the party to Immediately continue their
journey to San Francisco They will
shortly return with the assurance that our
citizens will be prepared to offer sufficient
and satisfactory inducements for establish
ment of the proposed home in our city

demonstrate tangible and permanent evil
dence of the excellence of climate. soil and
productions in Central California.

The Harlan Case.

A dispatch from Woodland last evening
says: Had a dynamite bomb been ex
pioded in the Superior Court room to-day
no one would have been more surprised
than they were when the District ATTORNEY
announced that the prosecution rested
their case. All of the eye-witnesses to the
killing had not yet testified, and the case as
it now stands is looked upon by all as very
weak for the prosecution. The prosecu-
ton has been handicapped by the absence
of John Grinello, one of their best wit
nesses, who is too sick to attend the trial.
Grinello was the bootblack who was en-
gagged in polishing Crafts boots when Har-
Ian entered the Byrns Hotel and the shoot
ing commenced. Tomorrow morning
Judge S. c. benson, Of Sacramento. will
make the opening statement for the de-
Tense. 1t is now thought that the case will
be finished within week or ten days"

fusely decorated for the occasion, rainbow

Emerson's Ministries drew an immense

sign Standing Room Only was displayed
The troupe is not very large, nor is it

full satisfaction of their auditors. Kellogg,
the basso, and Carter and Moore, tenors,
are pleasing singers, ana very effective in
their sentimental songs. The pedestal
clog-dancer, Leonard, proved TO be a mar

female impersonator, has lost none
of his cunning in disguise or
act in low comedy. Jack Talbot as a
burlesque lecturer, while good comedian
was scarcely so original as expected. He
has the ability to supply genuine and fresh
wit for a great deal that is not new and is
tortured into semblance of it. The people
were prepared to laugh, however, and in
dulged in merriment very heartily over
Talbot's lecture. Chase, Mack, Norton and
Goldie appeared in speciality character acts
with great success, and Emerson gave a
number of his specialtes with all the fresh
ness that characterized his acting in min
strelsy years ago. The company certainly
could not have heartier welcome or an
audience more responsive. The mirth was
continuous, and loud laughter broken only
by few seconds now and then of repose
from the exertion. 1t was, altogether, a
good minstrel entertainment. matinee

there will be full houses. Minstrelsy and

not contemplated that there shall be
any large expenditure of money, but such
public announcement and manifestation
and exchange of congratulations and SIM
pie but expressive exercises as Will give
voice TO the sense entertained here OF the
great importance of the work completed,

ramento has in it. Joseph Steffens, Presi-

call, and the indications are that the peo-
pie of the capital city will heartily unite

ton that this important and hurculean
work of railway construction is completed.

Good News for Hop Mon.

Sacramento botanist, a gentleman
thoroughly conversant with the properties
of fibrous plants and one who has made
the suject of jute study, says that the
hop vines, which are considered worthless,
are of much more value for textile fabrics
than the jute imported from India He
claims that burlaps made from hop vines
would be of great strength and durability
and for grain bags would almost be indie
struchble. The hop yards of Sacramento
county alone can furnish material enough
to supply the entire demand of the State
for grain bags, and as each acre will turn
off say at least three tons, which could be
be readily sold say at half a cent per pound,
it would be a source of profit to the grower,
while at present it costs considerable to get
rid of them.

The ODD FELLOWS BALL.-Last evening
the Odd Fellows of this city held their an
nual ball at Armory Hall. The attendance
was quite good, considering the attractions
at the the theaters. Eighteen members
gave an exhibition drill, and in the opinion
of all present it was one of the most pleas

manded the squad. At the close of the
drill Elwood Bruner, Commander in Chief
of all the Divisions in the State, presented
to Commander Sherburn, on behalf of the
members, a beautiful gold medal in the
shape of banner, with the emblems of the
Order inscribed thereon. Mr.. Sherburn
was completely taken by surprise, but re-
sponded in few words. thanking the
members for their gift, and also for their
attention. Dancing was INDUCED in until
a very late hour. The grand march was
especially attractive. Those who attended

A BOLD RoBBERY.-The town seems to
be pretty well supplied with burglars and
robbers, and they drive their business
within few feet of the City Prison. Last
night, about half-past eight, gentleman
was walking in the yard of the Southern
| Pacific, about a hundred feet from the door
of the City Prison, when he was approached
| by three men. He was struck on the head,
knocked down, and robbed of fifty cents, all
the money he had He was knocked
senseless, had his nose broken and was
badly bruised about the body, having been
kicked after being knocked down. He has
given the police description of the rob-
| bers.
You Go, AND THEY GIT.-That is what
Mayor Gregory said to some bunko thieves
on Second street yesterday morning. He
gave them one hour in which to bid fare
well to Sacramento, and they stood not
| upon the order of their going, but got up
and busted. The question naturally arises :
If the Mayor can drive disreputable char
acters out of town by simply telling them
| to make themselves scarce, how long would
it take the police. if they adopted his
methods, to clear the city of that undesira-
BILE class?
